A Temporal-Causal Modelling Approach to Analyse the Dynamics of Burnout and the Effects of Sleep

Abstract

In this paper, a temporal-causal network model is introduced for a burnout in relation to sleep. The network model approach shows the impact of different lifestyle, personal and job factors on the development of a burnout. This model, for instance, can be used to schedule night shifts in order to preserve the needed recovery of exhaustive, irregular sleeping patterns or to investigate the effects of certain in lifestyles induced triggers on burnout.
